Fendt 1Z or MAN 2L2?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 1Z has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 2L2 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Fendt 1Z suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 137% (685 kg / 1,510 lb) more three-point lift.
Generated by rule set compare@4 from the figures on the side-by-side table, allowed by route “the same stated configuration”. Measured figures are compared only with measured, claimed only with claimed, at the same test condition; differences within each figure’s tolerance are not called.

What does this mean in plain words?
- The Fendt 1Z has 137% more lift (685 kg / 1,510 lb) than the MAN 2L2 (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The Fendt 1Z is 23% heavier (295 kg / 650 lb) than the MAN 2L2 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Fendt 1Z is newer: production began 5 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Even on forward gears (both forward gears, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 25% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on a creeper range: every machine offers one.
- Even on top speed (both top speed forward, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- Even on drive: all two-wheel drive.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the 1Z has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 2L2 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, hydraulic flow, maximum permissible mass, PTO speeds and PTO independence.
